            say this isn't love
            C                           D
            'cause if you don't want to talk about it

            C                  D     
            grey  something in between
            E

            D                     Em
            Think about the consequences."

             G               
             But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
             Am
             Snap her up in a butterfly net
             G
             Pin her down on a photograph album

             Em         C               D               Em   
                    But then I start to think about the consequences
                      C                D
             'cause I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
 
             G         C9                  Am7
             The time when kindness falls like rain
                Dsus4           G
             It washes me away
             C9       Am7      Dsus4       G  
             and Anna begins to change my mind
             C9             Am7     
             And every time she sneezes I believe it's love and
             G            C9    Am7            Dsus4                G

                   C9                 Am7      Dsus4            G

              C9        Am7  Dsus4         G
             and Anna begins to toss and turn
             C9          Am7           Dsus4          
             And every word is nonsense but I understand and
             G            C9     Am7         Dsus4     
             Ooh O Ooh O Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
 
             G    C9                 Am7
             Her kindness bangs a gong
                  Dsus4           G      C9       Am7   Dsus4     G
             It's moving me along   and Anna begins to fade away
             C9         Am7
             It's chasing me away
                  D
